Gimp 2.10 will not start due to undefined symbol: gegl_operation_get_source_space

After upgrade to 18.10 Gimp 2.10 will not start. I reinstalled it but no luck.

Found this error in logs:

gimp-2.10: symbol lookup error: gimp-2.10: undefined symbol: gegl_operation_get_source_space

What could be wrong


Solution 1:

It was a problem with a local version of libgegl. Uninstalled Gimp and removed libgegl by 'sudo apt-get remove libgegl-0.4-0:amd64'. Reinstalled Gimp via Software Center, got a new libgegl from that and now it's working.
